The Quare Fellow

Two Summer Revivals at the Tricycle
The summer programme at Kilburn's Tricycle Theatre is to include two revivals: from 25th May to 2nd July it will play host to the Oxford Stage Company's production of Brendan Behan's The Quare Fellow, directed by Kathy Burke, which will be followed by Robin Soans' The Arab-Israeli Cookbook, running from 6th to 30th July.

Currently at the theatre is Bloody Sunday: Scenes from the Saville Inquiry, which runs until 7th May. Mind reader Marc Salem's Mind Games rounds off the summer season, running from 31st August to 17th September.
